Charles Reed (1885 – after 1910) was an English footballer who played as a left back in the Football League for Barnsley and Clapton Orient and in non-league football for Sunderland West End, Darlington and Sunderland Rovers.[lower-alpha 1]

Life and career

Reed was born in Sunderland in 1885.[1] He played football for Sunderland West End before signing for Second Division club Barnsley ahead of the 1905–06 Football League season.[2] He made 11 appearances in the 1905–06 Football League season before returning to his former club.[1] Barnsley re-signed him for 1907–08,[4] during which season he made 16 League appearances.[1] Reed spent the 1908–09 season with North-Eastern League club Darlington, and then returned to the Football League with Clapton Orient. He played twice in their 1909–10 Second Division campaign, but would not re-sign for 1910–11 because Orient would not pay him over the summer.[3] He returned to Sunderland where he resumed his North-Eastern League career in October 1910 with Sunderland Rovers.[3]

Notes

  1. ↑ Michael Joyce's 2004 edition of Football League Players' Records 1888 to 1939 lists two players called Charles Reed, both left backs. The first was born in Sunderland, played for Sunderland West End and Barnsley, and last appeared in the 1907–08 season. The second was born in Durham (whether city or county unspecified), played for Darlington, not then a Football League club so no dates given, and for Clapton Orient in 1909–10.[1] In their report of his joining Sunderland Rovers, the Sunderland Echo explicitly treats those career paths as one continuous career pursued by a single person.[3]

Last season Reed joined Clapton Orient, and at the end of April refused to sign because they declined to pay him summer wages. He had not played for any club during the present season.
